New investor Chicago, IL

[Joshua R.]

How is it going my name is Josh. I am new to real estate and looking to build a strong foundation and plan before I make my first investment. I am currently working as a leasing agent for Apartment Guys Chicago. I am gaining as strong working knowledge of the Chicago land area and the price ranges. I want to primarily focus on multifamily homes (3-4 units) in middle to low income working class areas (west is where I have been looking primarily). I want to build strong passive income to allow me to gain financial freedom. I have been reading as many books as I can find, listening to podcasts, and speaking with seasoned investors that are willing to share their insight. I want to invest in real estate full time and turn this passion into a meaningful career. I want to make sure that I start off correct so I am able to stay strong throughout my career. I am really excited to be joining this community and I look forward to learning a lot!
